CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Juan Rincon has signed with the Somerset Patriots of the independent Atlantic League.

Heyman reported last month that Rincon threw for a few teams in Florida, but apparently he didn't draw much interest around MLB. The 35-year-old hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010, but will attempt to keep his career alive. Sat, Jun 21, 2014 12:40:00 AM

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Juan Rincon has thrown for a few teams in Florida.

Rincon, now 35, hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010 and spent last year in independent ball, but he's looking to make a comeback. It's unclear whether any teams will take a chance on him, but he'll almost certainly have to settle for a minor league deal. Tue, May 13, 2014 10:14:00 AM

Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reported back in November that Rincon was drawing interest and intended to pitch in 2014. The 34-year-old right-hander hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010 and spent last year in independent ball. Wed, Feb 26, 2014 12:38:00 PM

Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports that Juan Rincon is drawing interest from MLB teams and intends to pitch in 2014.

The 34-year-old right-hander hasn't appeared in the majors since a two-inning stint with the Rockies during the 2010 season. He spent 2013 in the Independent League, where he posted a 3.26 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 43/19 K/BB ratio over 47 innings. He'll undoubtedly have to settle for a minor league deal and spring training invite, but represents a nice low-risk signing. Sat, Nov 30, 2013 11:27:00 AM

Jefry Marte left Saturday night's Cactus League game against the Mariners with right groin tightness.

No further information was provided by the club. A setback would be a disappointing development for Marte, who has been hitting everything in sight this spring. The 26-year-old has eight hits in 13 at-bats as he vies for a role with the team in 2018.

Chris Young (calf) took eight at-bats in an intrasquad game Tuesday in Angels camp.

Young suffered a Grade 1 strain of his right calf shortly after arriving in Arizona and has yet to appear in a Cactus League game, but he would seem to be getting pretty close. The 34-year-old projects to serve as an active fourth outfielder for the Angels this season.
